Thought Problem

“way leads onto way”

Robert Frost

I was reading a poem

about how hard it is

to attend to the world

with all its distractions,

and; I lose that poem

to my thoughts of the poem.


Even now, as I write

this poem about losing

the poem I read,

I lose the thoughts

in my head, and the poem

I meant to write instead.
